The "Substitute"


On my second "shadowing" trip, I visited 6th grade Pre-AP classes. During 2nd period, I decided to go to Choir--even though I knew the teacher was out and a "sub" was in the class. What an experience! I got to see real 6th grade behaviors! Most of the students totally ignored the very cute guy; but some of the girls really enjoyed interacting with him. Some of the girls wanted me to take their pictures but insisted that Mr. Farmer be in the photo. During the class, several of the girls tried to direct the class and do the things the teacher usually did (drills, singing, etc.). The students were never "out of control", but their behavior was so different from what I saw in the other classes.
